TORONTO — Unifor has picked Ford Motor Co. as the lead company for negotiations with the Detroit Three automakers as it works to hammer out new contracts.

The bargaining with Ford will serve as a blueprint for workers at General Motors and Stellantis, the union's national president said Tuesday, as it focuses on securing electric vehicle production investments.

Unifor members at Ford have voted 98.9 per cent in favour of a strike if the bargaining committee fails to secure a new collective agreement.The union kicked off negotiations with the major auto companies earlier this month as the contract for 18,000 autoworkers at the Detroit Three is scheduled to expire on Sept. 18."We will approach these talks with Ford to secure the best possible contract for our members. That is our goal," Payne told reporters and union leaders in Toronto.

"And if that can't happen, then there will be no deal. And if anyone thinks that I'm bluffing right now, just follow what our union has been doing this past year, these past weeks."
